Useful tips

When it is hot, add semolina without water and stir. There will be no lumps, but you need to stir the cereal in any case until it is ready.
You can complement the classic taste with chocolate drops; they are sold in confectionery stores. You can even use white drops from white glaze. They won't be noticeable, but they will provide flavor and texture. Coconut shavings or flour are also added, but then the porridge will need to be prepared thinner.
In summer, this casserole can be prepared with the addition of fresh berries. They don't have to be mixed into the dough. You can simply grind the berries into puree and put them as a bottom or top layer. Since the casserole turns out sweet, there is no need to add sugar to the berries. You can use both fruit puree and vegetable puree.
